Party People
It was a special party of a rich personality
All big and known names with there
I too was invited because I knew a family member
Not used to attending big parties, I observed others
All ladies dressed in best attire flaunting their beauty
Males trying to impress females
All trying to demonstrate they are the best
Each boasting about how great he is
About costly purchases made, his achievements
I wondered what are these people trying to achieve
Boosting their egos
Trying to be number one
What will they get by doing that?
Real beauty lies within
Real achievement is not in spending on self
but in helping the needy
Isn't humility the greatest of all virtues?
A world of lies
A life of pretence on borrowed money
So much just to impress others
Is it not stupidity?
Or
May be I am different.
